Indeed, USERNAME is empty when I log into a tty outside of my X session.
It seems to be set by gdm in my case:

daemon/gdm-launch-environment.c:        g_hash_table_insert (hash, g_strdup ("USERNAME"), g_strdup (launch_environment->user_name));

We should rely on $USER instead.
However, because doas(1) sets $USER to the target user we need to handle
it as a special case.

We could probe $DOAS_USER/$SUDO_USER first, with a fallback on $USER.
